Statamic doesn't appear to track asset .meta files?

[stephenmeehanuk]

Hi

Statamic doesn't appear to track asset .yaml files inside .meta? Is it because the meta directory is hidden?

I updated the meta for an image, saved changes but they're not committed to git?

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        modified:   public/assets/images/.meta/support-group-1.jpg.yaml

Updates to entries are committed and pushed as expected.

Is this a known issue? Or is there an additional bit of config required to get this work?

Do you have any .gitignore files in any of the folders in public that could be ignoring it?

Hi,

I've not made any changes to .gitignore files since installation.

My installation of Statamic seems to ignore files in .meta directories?

Is this not a common thing?

It looks like Git itself is tracking them, since you've shown that in the output:

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        modified:   public/assets/images/.meta/support-group-1.jpg.yaml

But the Git integration in Statamic is not committing/pushing them because you haven't configured it to commit files in that directory.

You can add public_path('assets') to the paths array in config/statamic/git.php.

    'paths' => [
        base_path('content'),
        base_path('users'),
        resource_path('blueprints'),
        resource_path('fieldsets'),
        resource_path('forms'),
        resource_path('users'),
        storage_path('forms'),
+       public_path('assets'),
    ],

Thanks! I can now pull .meta updates into my local site

Wondering, why this isn't enabled by default?

[jasonvarga]

People often have so many assets they prefer not to track them. But of course you're welcome to.

[stephenmeehanuk]

Ah, ok. I don't track the assets in Git, but I did want to track the .meta files.

Thanks again.
